, guys, how about inventing a flat world with a sun
burning from far, far, far away and turning itself on and
off 12 hours? If it is very, very far away every corner of
the new, flat world will be equally lit. And if it turns itself
on and off regularly there will be no time zones, no shift
because I'm biased toward
'dialism', that we can get rid of time zones, area codes, zip codes,
addresses, telephone numbers, etc. by just using GPS+ longitude and
latitude. Looking at all of those benefits I think I could also get
rid of my day planner and palm pilot. Is our list is long
there will be no time zones, no shift
differences, no daylight saving in the Summer and none of
the problems some of us have been discussing.
Let's accept for a fact that all those problems are NOT created
by time zones or daylight saving time. They are not even
problems.
